The official shortening is usually "Super NES". Do you guys even use it?

I always pronounce it "S.N.E.S."

Too many fucking syllables to say all the letters.

Yeah, we've always called it "Super ness" here. And the original Nintendo's just been called "ness". It rolls off the tongue pretty nicely.

Super Nintendo or "Snes". Only since Youtube I hears lots of people say S.N.E.S.

>> No.2245369

>>2245347
I just say Super Nintendo since it's faster to say than " S.N.E.S."

Super Nintendo, because honestly, it rolls better of the tongue than any of the abbreviations.

Super Nintendo. SNES in writing.
Also Nintendo, with NES in writing.

I think it's stupid to include the "entertainment system" part as the actual name. Technically The playstation 2 is "playstation 2 computer entertainment system" but nobody argues that PS2CES is the full name.

Look at the fucking logo. It say in big letters "SUPER NINTENDO" then in really tiny letters underneath it says "entertainment system". It seems pretty obvious what it's supposed to be called, at least at the time it was made.

You have to respect the font size, so next time shout "SUPER NINTENDO !!!!!!" then return to normal volume to say "entertainment system..."

I say Snes because that's what everyone I knew called it

I understand Super Nintendo, S.N.E.S, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, etc but why Super N.E.S?
You're using 75% of an acronym, it defeats the purpose

Usually just Snes or Super Nintendo. I've never heard anyone call it S.N.E.S or Super NES outside of youtube videos. Must be an american thing.

Australian here, everyone I have ever met says either "Snes" or "Super Nintendo". I am part of a large community where I travel interstate frequently, too. "Snes" is definitely the most common pronunciation in the country.
